Essentials of Positive Psychology: Strengthen Your Well-being

Dr. Belinda Merkle, Ronja Steinhauser

Can well-being be changed? Yes – and sustainably!

In this workshop, you explore and apply key theories of sustainable mental health, such as Basic Needs Theory, the Hedonic Treadmill, and the Sustainable Happiness Model. You’ll learn what truly influences well-being – and how to ensure that these positive effects last over time.

Through reflection and practical exercises, you will build a strong foundation to enhance mental resilience. Whether in studies, work, or personal growth – this workshop empowers you to take mental well-being into your own hands.

  • Recommended in combination with (2/2) Essentials of Behavior Change: Set and Achieve Your Goals – but if that’s not possible, each session can also be attended on its own.
  • This session also serves as a helpful foundation for the upcoming resource-specific workshops, by providing an applied framework for sustainable well-being – helping you get the most out of later exercises.

This course is part of Studium Generale's Mental Health Course Programme.
